My Family loved it here. The Perfect get away, exactly what we needed. The house had everything we needed, and was very thoughtfully stocked with all the kitchen things we would have never remembered to bring. On our list of places to visit again!

Great private getaway, needs a couple updates
It was spacious and met our needs, clean, the beach was nice, very private and quiet setting. There were carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in each room. A few cons: there was a bit of a bug problem, there were screws and hinges in and around the fire pit and a window that was cracked all the way across with tape and a note not to touch over it, which I would have liked to be aware of with my younger children.

Wonderful stay
This secret hideaway on the island’s secluded south side was our greatest escape! Quiet easterly beach-front property for the early birds, the best light show in Northern Michigan for the stargazers, and situated close to a series of bays, historical sites, and hiking trails for all the adventuring in between. The home was thoughtfully put together with lots of versatility to accommodate groups both big and small. And the owners were great to work with. 10/10 would recommend!
